Research

Sport Integrity Australia is committed to enhancing our understanding of the threats to the integrity of sport and also exploring the opportunities to improve the experiences of those who participate in sport. 

Research helps to inform our operations and strategic approach to sport integrity, both in Australia and abroad.

We are actively involved in research activities and collaborate with our research partners, academic organisations and other industry partners to explore topics and questions relevant to maintaining integrity in the Australia sporting community.

Research partnerships involve the contribution of subject matter expertise, support or assistance with information or context to inform research, engagement with the wider sector and occasionally, funding.

Researchers or organisations wishing to partner with us or for any research related query please reach out via our enquiries email: contactus@sportintegrity.gov.au
